Embedded Files
Remember: If you complete it, on time, it's an automatic 100. This is about the process right now not the finished product. The more you write, the easier it is to write, the more powerful your writing becomes, and the more you care about what you're saying and how you're saying it.
Choose any option (see me if you're stuck or have other ideas), and push yourself to write until it feels finished (I don't like to set minimums or maximums because then your brain automatically aims for that and it gets in the way of just focusing on the writing, you'll know when the writing is done, but please aim for over 1 page).
Make sure to choose a title for the writing (this is part of your job to frame the writing, make meaning, and hook the reader).
My example (the blurb below is the progress I made at first. What's posted next is what I finished with).
A Place That I Belong
It’s hard to pinpoint when it started. Maybe it’s rooted simply in growing up a middle child or being a lefty in a right-handed world. Whatever the initial seed might have been, stowed away in the cavernous recesses of some subconscious level of my memory, there is no denying that I have always been concerned with fairness. From fairness it’s not hard to care about equality as you grow and learn about the world we live in. Couple that overbearing concern for fairness with constant reticence and someone always struggling to find a place to fully fit in and you have a recipe for a person ready to spend a lifetime unsettled at their very seams.
Below you'll find the memoir doc (02/01) and the writing prompts for the week. Both of these are posted on Google classroom.
*Please note - there are spoiler alerts in the prompts since they review plot, go ahead early at your own risk!*
